Antenna and amplifier advice for Saint Bernard

The farthest main network tower for Saint Bernard is WHIO-TV (CBS), 41 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WSTR-TV is only 2.6 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
